Chapter Eleven

When we arrived back at my house, I considered a boat ride to look for Godzilla, but Gertie immediately refused, insisting that I had bigger fish to fry. She figured exposing Celia’s poisoned meat plan had bought us a reprieve so the gator didn’t have to be a top priority. Still, because Godzilla had turned up again on my lawn, I insisted on getting the cage in place and baiting it with some frozen chicken wings. I figured the wings would thaw and while they weren’t as tasty as Gertie’s casserole, they would probably still do. Gertie had started prepping a casserole that morning and promised to bring it over later that afternoon.

We said our goodbyes and I headed inside with my laptop and duffel. I put the wet stuff in the garage to finish drying and cleaned the mask in the laundry room sink. I had a quick shower to rid myself of the stinky canal water, then headed back downstairs to the kitchen for lunch and to start my review of the properties.

I’d pretty much decided on the last property for the takedown. The advantage of the water tunnel was too big to pass up and too easy for a qualified crew to pull off. I gave the other properties one last cursory review while polishing off leftover lasagna but still couldn’t find an argument for any of them over the last one. So I grabbed a pad of paper and went to work on a layout of the building.

I’d done a rough sketch as we’d walked and taken measurements in some places so that I’d be able to do a better drawing later to scale. Now I took that preliminary sketch and slowly redid it, appropriately sizing rooms and hallways, and making notes of dimensions as I went. I started on the ground level, and there were so many rooms that it took me an hour to get it done. I rose from the table and stretched, then took a walk around the house a couple times before settling back down to start on the basement.

When the basement was well documented, I did a cursory layout of the second floor, mostly noting points of egress to the lower floor. Given that the team would enter from the water tunnel, I had decided that the best place for the ambush would be in the basement, but I still needed to secure the first level. There were too many windows that weren’t boarded and that would have to be addressed first, preferably with aged plywood and nails. New products would stick out like a sore thumb, but I needed to eliminate the possibility of Ahmad taking an easy leap through a window to escape or his men coming inside from every angle and flanking Harrison’s team.

The basement provided only three ways out—the stairs, an elevator shaft, and the water tunnel. Ahmad was ballsy enough to try the water tunnel, even without gear, but one of the entry agents would close the opening once they were inside.
